The roar of engines, the smell of burning rubber, the palpable excitement in the air – the 1970s were a golden age of motorsport, an era when racing legends etched their names into history. It was a time when every corner, every overtake and every victory left its mark on the souls of those who lived and breathed speed.
In this spirit, Edox introduced reissues of the EDOX Sportsman Chronographe Automatic watch. Inspired by the celebrated motorsport heritage of the 1970s and the original 1972 model, these watches embody the competitive spirit and elegance of this legendary age while celebrating EDOX's 140th anniversary.
In the world of motorsport, few names command as much respect and admiration as Juan Manuel Fangio. He not only won races but also defined what it means to be a "Champion". To honour this extraordinary legacy, Edox joined forces with the prestigious Museo Fangio to create two limited editions of the Sportsman Chronograph, as a tribute to Fangio's 115-year legacy.
Made in two exclusive versions, each limited to just 115 pieces, these watches pay tribute to a man who became a legend and to the golden age of racing, when glory was earned and survival was never guaranteed. The 1970s-inspired case, complete with a tachymeter scale and distinctive vintage lines, recalls the precision watches once worn by racing drivers. Fangio's signature on the dial is a quiet but powerful tribute to his presence. The dial is available in dark blue or cream, reflecting both the raw adrenaline and timeless elegance of Fangio's world. Inside, a mechanical chronograph ensures that performance matches the legacy.
Each piece is supplied with two straps: a perforated racing-style leather strap and a refined mesh bracelet. In every curve, every gear and every heartbeat of this watch lives the spirit of a man who conquered time at full speed. Time passes. Legends remain. The case diameter is 41 mm. The watch is powered by a Sellita SW500 movement. The case is made of surgical steel.
The elegant and easy-to-read grey dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, which is highly resistant to scratches.
The hands and indices are coated with a luminescent layer, ensuring longer-lasting luminescence and better legibility in low-light conditions.
The watch has a water resistance of 300 m (30 ATM), so it can withstand any contact with water. Water resistance is supported by a screw-down crown.
Limited edition of 115 pieces.
